Basic Info

Investment Strategy
The Corporation’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Income received from investments is a secondary consideration. The Corporation invests primarily in equity securities that it believes are undervalued at the time of purchase and have the potential for growth. It is Central’s goal to own companies that it believes will generate superior returns when compared with the broad market and preserve the Corporation’s capital in an inflationary environment.
